Description

Semiconductor integrated circuit
Technical field
The present invention relates to semiconductor integrated circuit, more specifically, relate to the transistor that has a high threshold voltage by use and cut off the power supply of not using circuit is reached the semiconductor integrated circuit that power consumption reduces.
Background technology
Along with power consumption descends and the processing miniaturization of size, the supply voltage of semiconductor integrated circuit descends year by year.When signal amplitude diminished owing to the decline of supply voltage, transistorized threshold voltage uprised with respect to signal amplitude, so transistorized conducting electric current reduces, and postponed to increase.Owing to this reason, transistorized threshold voltage also must reduce with supply voltage.But when transistorized threshold voltage was lowered, the leakage current of off state increased, and had hindered the shortcoming that power consumption reduces so exist.
As a kind of technology that prevents that this leakage current from increasing, known have " multi-threshold cmos " (MTCMOS) circuit engineering.In MTCMOS, for example, the transistor switch with high threshold voltage is disposed in the power line of each circuit block of carrying out specific function.When circuit block became unused state, transistor switch was set at scram position, flow through each transistorized leakage current in the circuit block and was cut off.Thus, can significantly reduce the useless leakage current that flows through untapped circuit block.
Summary of the invention
But in the design of the semiconductor integrated circuit that combines the MTCMOS technology, the layout-design of layout transistor switch is normally carried out by hand in power line.For example, each carry out the layout of circuit elements of circuit block inside of specific function and connecting line by CAD equipment to the design automatically of each circuit block, then with the transistor switch manual arrangement in the power line of circuit block outside.Owing to this reason, have such shortcoming: the burden of design work has increased, and the Products Development cycle is elongated.
In addition, along with the decline of supply voltage, the small voltage that occurs in power line resistance parts descends and begins to bring big influence to signal delay.That is, supply voltage is low more, and signal amplitude is just more little with respect to the surplus of transistor threshold voltage, thus very little even supply voltage descends, also big signal delay can take place.
When arranging transistor switch in this case in power line, the voltage that causes thus descends and is further increased, so that the problems referred to above become is more serious.Particularly, from the elongated circuit block central authorities of external power source linear distance, it is big that signal delay becomes.As a result, there is such problem: though circuit block self operate as normal, but it has just no longer been worked when transistor switch arrangement is externally in the power line.In addition, when circuit block is also connected to the piece of high level more, there is such problem: no longer satisfy required timing.
A kind of like this semiconductor integrated circuit need be provided, and it can reduce the burden of the layout-design of arranging mains switch, and the voltage that can reduce to take place in the mains switch descends to the influence of signal delay.
According to one embodiment of present invention, provide a kind of semiconductor integrated circuit, having comprised: a plurality of circuit elements; A plurality of banded source line group of arranging; A plurality of branch line groups, they come out from source line group branch, and at least one circuit elements power supply; With mains switch unit, it is arranged at least one branch line group, and according to the input control signal conducting or turn-off power supply to circuit elements.

Owing to this reason, mains switch unit dispersed placement is in the zone that circuit elements is arranged.For the circuit elements of every group of relatively small amount, the power supply by mains switch unit is by meticulous control.Because like this, and provide the method for mains switch to compare to each circuit block, the decline of the supply voltage that is caused by mains switch diminishes, and has increased the degree of freedom that mains switch unit arranges.
Preferably, each branch line group is extending to form with the direction of forming predetermined angular from the power line that wherein branches out this branch line group.Because like this, improved the symmetry of the connecting line structure of power supply.
In addition, preferably, each mains switch unit comprises at least one transistor, at least one branch line that this transistor layout is comprised in the branch line group, and according to control signal conducting or shutoff.The driving force that this transistor has is the power consumption of the circuit elements that is powered by this branch line when being in conducting state according to this transistor.For example, power consumption is big more, and driving force is big more.
Be set to suitable size by driving force according to the power consumption switching transistor of the circuit elements that is powered via switching transistor, compare with the situation that the transistor driving ability is set uniformly, can reduce circuit area and leakage current, suppress the decline of supply voltage simultaneously.
At least a portion of each mains switch unit can be contained in the zone below the source line group.In this case, the branch line group can comprise the via hole connecting line that props up out and extend to lower floor from the sub power source line of source line group.Because like this, increased the layout density of circuit elements.
Each mains switch unit can comprise: first connecting line, and it is connected to two branch lines to the circuit elements power supply, and these two branch lines face with each other on mains switch unit both sides, and extend on opposite directions; Second connecting line, it is connected to from the branch line of the sub power source line expenditure of source line group; And switching circuit, it is connected between first connecting line and second connecting line, and also according to control signal conducting or shutoff.
Mains switch unit can comprise: the 3rd connecting line, and it is connected to the branch line to the circuit elements power supply; The 4th connecting line, it is connected to branch line, and this branch line props up out from the sub power source line of source line group, and extends on the direction opposite with the branch line that is connected to the 3rd connecting line; And switching circuit, it is connected between the 3rd connecting line and the 4th connecting line, and also according to control signal conducting or shutoff.
The branch line group also can comprise first branch line and be connected to second branch line of the power line of source line group.In this case, mains switch unit also can or turn-off being connected between first branch line and second branch line according to the control signal conducting.In addition, a plurality of circuit elements can comprise: from first circuit elements of first branch line power supply and the second circuit unit of powering from second branch line.
In this case, first branch line can be formed in the identical wiring layer side by side with second branch line, perhaps can be formed in the different wiring layers and faces with each other.
In addition, in this case, each mains switch unit can comprise: the 5th connecting line, and it is connected to first branch line; The 6th connecting line, it is connected to second branch line; And switching circuit, it is connected between the 5th connecting line and the 6th connecting line, and according to control signal conducting or shutoff.
According to one embodiment of present invention, the degree of freedom that mains switch unit arranges uprises, and can easily realize the automatic graph generation design by CAD equipment, the feasible burden that can reduce layout-design.
In addition, the supply voltage that can suppress to be caused by mains switch unit descends, and makes the voltage that can reduce to take place in mains switch unit descend to the influence of signal delay.
